Finely chop onion and saute in olive oil until tender. Add all remaining ingredients. Cook on
high for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour stirring
frequently. Remove bay leaves before serving. Sometimes I add cooked ground beef during the last 15
minutes of cooking.

This recipe freezes well.
